'Cossacks 3' Rise to Glory DLC Announced, Coming Soon

by Rainier on Jan. 26, 2017 @ 6:46 a.m. PST

Cossacks 3 is the latest installment in the real time strategy franchise, recreating the original experience with up to date graphics, mod tools and a new story.

This remake of the classic game, that originally launched in 2000, contains all of the elements that distinguish the successful Cossacks games and combines them with contemporary 3D-graphics. Cossacks 3 provides the player with infinite tactical options, including not only the construction of buildings, the production of raw materials, but also the broad selection of various units and the influence of the landscape.

Twelve nations, 70 different unit types, 100 research opportunities, and over 140 different historical buildings are available to the player. Besides the battles ashore, players can build an armada and attack their enemies at sea. Cossacks 3 offers five historic single player-campaigns and up to eight players can fight each other in multiplayer-mode on one map. The player can forge alliances with or against others as well as challenge the computer. Randomly generated maps provide endless variations and can be adapted to the gamer’s needs.

Rise to Glory allows you to take up the mantle of the greatest military leaders of all time and participate in battles that defined the world’s history as we know it. Among other things, it introduces numerous new features to the game: new nations, environments, units, custom campaigns and scenarios and much more!

Main features:

  • Prussian campaign: Assume the role of Frederick the Great and lead the mighty Prussian armies into the fiercest skirmishes 18th century Europe have ever seen.
  • Swedish campaign: Experience the rise of Sweden to its position of the global power under the leadership of Gustavus Adolphus, a genius military leader who invented the modern way of conducting warfare.
  • New Original Units: 7 new units come into the game, 3 of which are completely new.
  • New environments: Take out your winter coats, as Rise to Glory introduces winter maps to both singleplayer and multiplayer modes.
  • New nations: mighty Bavaria and Saxony – favorites of the old fans – make a comeback to display the military might of German states.
  • Custom missions: three singleplayer scenarios will allow you participate in exciting historical battles that took place all over Europe.
Cossacks 3: Rise to Glory is an epic addition to the Cossacks series and will see the light of day on February 15, 2017.
As a reminder, Bavaria and Saxony will be available to everyone for free in one week after the release of the DLC! Deluxe edition and DLC owners will get an exclusive 7-day access to them and new units, everyone else will get their hands on them on 22th of February.
This DLC is part of the Deluxe Edition.
